Subject:Tatra air cooled V8 conversion?

I met This wierd looking dude while he was looking at
my westy in the health food store parking lot. He
talked about how he was looking for a Westy to pull
the wasser out and plant a Tatra air cooled v-8 in. I
said "What about overheating?" He said No Problem, the
Tatra v-8 exhaust pressure sucks in fresh air and
directs it over engine
Then he went on to tell me how the Germans stole ALL
aircooled technology from the Czech's during WW2.
Said Porsche, VW both stole designs from the Czech's

I looked up this Tatra V-8 87. What a cool looking
sled!
Why would anyone rip a motor out of one of these rare
beauties?
